WHEN THIS DOCTOR TALKS, YOU SHOULD LISTEN.

Thousands of people make an early exit each year and arrive on medical examiner Jan Garavaglia’s table. What is particularly sad about this is that many of these deaths could easily have been prevented. Even supposing Dr. Garavaglia, or Dr. G, as she’s known to many, could not tell these individuals how to avoid their fates, we will be able to get pleasure from her experience and profound insight into the choices we make every day.

In How Not to Die, Dr. G acts as a medical detective to identify the continuously-unintentional ways we harm our bodies, then shows us how to use that information to live better and smarter. She provides startling tips on how to make wise choices so that we don’t have to see her, or someone like her, for a good, long time.

• In “Highway to the Morgue,” we learn the one commonsense safety tip that can prevent deadly accidents—and the reason you will have to never drive with the windows half open
• “Code Blue” teaches us how to increase our chances of leaving the hospital alive—and how to insist that everyone taking good care of you practice the easiest hygiene method around
• “Everyday Dangers” informs us why neat freaks live longer—and the best how one can stay protected in a car all the way through a lightning storm

Using anecdotes from her cases and a liberal dose of humor, Dr. G gives us her prescription for living a healthier, better, longer life—and unlike many doctors’ orders, this one is surprisingly easy to follow.

From the Hardcover edition.
